OpenAI Launches ChatGPT Health with Apple Health and Medical Record Integration
OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Health, a new feature allowing US users aged 18 and older to connect their Apple Health data and medical records from systems like One Medical and Function Health. This feature enables ChatGPT to analyze health trends, summarize changes since the last doctor visit, and help users prepare for medical consultations. With over 300 million people asking ChatGPT health-related questions weekly, this integration marks a major milestone for consumer AI in healthcare by providing personalized context rather than generic advice. It could significantly streamline patient-doctor communication and make complex medical records more accessible to everyday users. The feature is available to logged-in US users across Free, Go, Plus, and Pro plans. OpenAI has committed to privacy by ensuring that connected health records and conversations will not be used to train its base models or target ads, with all data encrypted during transmission and storage.
## BACKGROUND
Apple Health is a centralized platform on iOS devices that aggregates health and fitness data from various sources. One Medical is an Amazon-owned primary care provider, while Function Health is a preventive health platform offering comprehensive blood and biomarker testing.
